International Family Day

‘You could gather a million treasures.

You could search from coast to coast.

The most valuable thing you’ll find

Is that family matters the most.’

On the account of International Family Day, an Inter-Class Poetry Recitation Competition was organized in Blue Bells Model School for the Primary Wing students.

Beauty is the realm of poetry; students enjoy the beauty of expression, thoughts, feeling, rhyme, rhythm and music of words.  Taking all these facts into consideration the students got an opportunity to exhibit their talent and recite their own or known poem. The competition inspired the students to come forward and recite on the virtual stage. The students came up with different poems on the topic ‘MY FAMILY MY STRENGTH, and recited them with great zeal and enthusiasm. The participants left no stone unturned to win.

The judges for the event were Madam Alka Singh, Principal, Madam Anjali Nagpal, Senior Coordinator and Madam Payal Uppal.

Students were judged on parameters like confidence, facial expressions, voice modulation, physical presence and on the overall presentation.

The judges appreciated and applauded the performance of the participants and the feeling of togetherness filled air with love and respect for each other. On this International Family Day, we feel privileged and grateful to be a part of BLUE BELLS FAMILY.

The event concluded with melodious School song.

Dos and Don’ts of Cyber Safety

The internet allows for access to information 24x7. However, with the many benefits that it brings, there are safety and security concerns as well.

Spending a lot of time online leaves students more vulnerable not only to distractions but also to threats in cyber space.

To create awareness on Cyber Safety and Security during online and virtual learning, Blue Bells Public school organised a webinar with renowned Cyber Security Expert, Mr. Rakshit Tandon, for its students, teachers and parents on Monday, 4 May from 3.30 to 5.00 p.m.

The aim of the webinar was to help everyone understand the risks faced during this period of virtual learning and how to maintain safety when online. Mr. Tandon shared guidelines to enable secure teaching and learning. He created awareness around different types of frauds including helpline frauds, moratorium frauds, email scams. He also explained the importance of maintaining password security and installation and regular update of antivirus software. Besides these measures, he shared ways in which everyone could guard themselves against online predators and be safe without losing on the advantages that the internet provides.

In his talk, Mr. Tandon also spoke of behavioural issues such as mood swings, sleep disorders, isolation and frustration that are prevalent amongst teenagers as well as adults due to an addiction to social media.

The lively and engaging talk was appreciated and resonated with everyone as they could connect and identify with the issues.

LET’S TALK ABOUT PUBERTY

INTERACTIVE SESSION ON “LET’S TALK ABOUT PUBERTY” FOR CLASS V GIRLS

“Change is the pathway to growth.”

Adolescence comes with its fair share of changes- physical, psychological, emotional & social. It is a very challenging time for children as their bodies and emotions undergo change in multiple ways. They may feel awkward, afraid, helpless and confused at times if these concerns are not addressed in an appropriate manner. Hence it becomes imperative to address confusions, misconceptions and concerns of children during this period of change so that they can deal with all changes positively and go ahead in life confidently.

In sync with this an interactive session was organized by the Health & Wellness Programme under the guidance of Dr. Alka Saxena, Deputy Director (Health & Wellness), Blue Bells Group of Schools on 25 February 2020 for Class V girls. The Session was conducted by Dr. Rekha Soni (School Doctor), using the School Cinema Movie “Let’s Talk Puberty”.  

Through this session, the girls came to know about physical, emotional, hormonal and social changes that occur during Puberty. They were able to understand the changes they would experience in the coming years and how to manage them with proper sleep, diet and hygiene. The meaning of puberty was well grasped by the girl students. Mood changes and variations in energy level were explained well by Dr. Rekha. The students understood the importance of balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, taking proper sound sleep, participating in outdoor games and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene for staying healthy and fit. Dr. Soni provided useful ways with which they can look after themselves at this time so they can cope with the changes effectively. Students shared their concerns, doubts and feelings with the doctor without any inhibition and felt empowered.

Dr. Soni summarized the session by talking about the importance of healthy eating and exercise. They encouraged the students to talk to their mothers, nurse, doctor, teachers, counsellors and Wing In charge regarding this important phase of their growth for further support and guidance.
